Happy Birthday Mark Twain

Last night Princeton Public Library had a standing room only crowd for a program that paid tribute to Mark Twain on the eve of his 172nd birthday.

Twain’s appearance at the library was performed by Alan Kitty, a local actor who has played Twain throughout much of his career. Last night’s performance of his original one man show Mark Twain’s Last Stand was the perfect way to celebrate the birth of this American icon — especially given that it was in a town that Twain himself visited and dubbed to be better than Heaven (at least for him).
